  • Starting a new NeXtMidas session:
    • Before NeXtMidas can be run a new shell session needs to be started.
    • Shell sessions are started using the nmstart command
      • In Linux:
        $ nmstart
      • In Windows:
        c:\> %nmstart%
    • Once the session has been started the NeXtMidas version and copyright information will be printed.
